Definitions

  • This invention related to hand-held condiment grinders that include multiple chambers and a grinding actuating mechanism that will selectively actuate a grinder mechanism for each chamber.
  • Hand-held condiment grinder are known. These grinders usually have a single chamber for holding only one condiment at a time, such as, peppercorns, salt, seeds or the like.
  • One grinder of this type is shown in US Patent Nos. 4,697,749 and 4,573,244 .
  • Some grinders have more than one chamber to hold more than one condiment at the same time but these multiple chamber grinders require more complicated, separately actuated grinding mechanisms, each fully separate from the other so that two different grinding mechanisms and actuating mechanisms for those grinding mechanisms are required.
  • a compartmented mill is revealed in the International publication No. WO 00/28870 .
  • a compartmented mill comprising a compartmented material housing body, a thin revolving plane, placed between the material housing body and grinding mechanism, each compartment having material outlets, a material outlet, on the revolving plane can align with the outlet of any particular compartment, and the predetermined size of hole outlets of both elements determine the rate of flow of material within the feeding holes of the grinding mechanism, eliminating storage of residue from one material when switching to the grating of another, and this is further achieved by lowering one part of the mechanism in relation to the other, thus widening outlet to the ambient, by spring action while revolving plane is switching from one material to another, thus disposing of any residue in the grinder.
  • This revealed compartmented mill is hard to handle.
  • WO 00/28870 discloses two embodiments of a horizontal grinder.
  • a revolving plane is moved so that the therein comprised material outlet holes come into alignment with outlet holes of two different compartments. Only one grinding mechanism consisting of two separate parts is disclosed. In the second embodiment, two grinding mechanisms for two compartments are disclosed. The ingredients of one compartment are ground by one of the two grinding mechanisms exclusively. The switching from one mechanism to the other mechanism during usage is achieved by moving the lower part of the grinding mechanism up or down so as to bring different gear wheels into contact with each other.
  • This invention as defined in the independent claim 1 relates to a multiple chamber condiment grinder, preferably having two separate chambers, but in which a common grinding actuating mechanism is used by being selectively positioned over each chamber. A cam is moved to be selectively positioned over one or the other of the separate chambers.
  • a grinder not part of the invention, but important for its understanding, includes a housing 10 formed from two joined halves 10a and 10b and having at least two chambers 12,14. It will be understood that two chambers will be used, however, more than two chambers are also possible.
  • a first chamber 12 ( Figure 6 ) may hold one condiment, such as, salt.
  • a second chamber 14 may hold a second condiment, such as, peppercorns.
  • Each chamber has a lower wall 13 and an upper wall 15.
  • a first rasp 16 is positioned in the first chamber 12 and a second rasp 18 is positioned in the second chamber 14.
  • Each rasp 16,18 has teeth or spaced grinding edges 20 ( Figures 7A and 8A ) that are spaced from a shear block 23 and 23a mounted in the bottom wall of chambers 12 and 14, respectively.
  • Each of the shear blocks 23, 23a has a ramp 22 and a shearing edge 24, although other forms of a shearing surface are also contemplated.
  • the shearing blocks can both be adjustably spaced from the teeth 20 of the rasp to control the size of the ground particles.
  • the space between each of the rasps 16,18 and the associated shearing edge 24 defines a discharge gap 29 for discharging ground condiment.
  • the shearing blocks 23, 23a for each chamber 12,14 can be fixed to not adjust the size of the ground condiment.
  • one of the shear blocks 23a is made adjustable by an eccentric pin 26 that can be rotated by a knob 28.
  • Rotation of the knob 28 will cause the shear block 23a to move toward or away from the rasp 18 to change the width of gap 29 between the block 23a and the rasp 18 and thus control the size of the ground condiment. This is particularly desirable for peppercorns as users often have different preferences for the size of the ground pepper.
  • the rasps 16 and 18 extend up through the top wall 15 of the chambers 12,14 and are spaced from one another, as shown in Figure 6 .
  • One rasp 18 has a fork with arms 19 ( Figures 7B and 7C ) forming a space therebetween and extending out toward the other rasp 16.
  • the other rasp 16 has a tongue 21 ( Figures 8A and 8C ) extending out therefrom and positioned in the space between the arms 19 of the fork.
  • Both the arms 19 and the tongue 21 lie over a spring chamber.
  • a spring 36 is positioned on a pin 38 having a flat enlarged cap 40. The bottom of the spring rests on a boss 39.
  • rasp 18 with the fork is moved downwardly, the spring 36 can be depressed without effecting the rasp 16 with the tongue 21 and vice versa.
  • the rasps 16,18 can be selectively actuated to grind the condiment in one chamber 12,14 or the other.
  • the tops of the rasps 16,18 extend up through the top wall 15 of the chambers 12,14 and are engageable by a cam 50.
  • the cam 50 may be formed on the end of an arm 48 formed on a movable handle 46.
  • a second handle 47 is provided in the grinder .
  • the handles have a circular flange 60 ( Figure 3 ) that rides in a circular groove 62 formed in a collar 63 attached to the top walls of the chambers.
  • the collar 63 is made of Delrin®, a hard and low friction form of plastic, or other plastic or metal.
  • the handles are rotated 180 degrees to selectively position the cam 48 over either the rasp 16 or the rasp 18.
  • the rasp 18 of the other chamber 14 will not be moved.
  • the cam 50 will actuate only the rasp 18.
  • detents 66 ( Figure 4 ), spaced 180 degrees from each other, are formed on the top flange 67 of the collar 63.
  • Mating indents 68 are formed 180 degrees apart in a groove 69 in the handles.
  • the indents 68 and mating detents 66 releasably hold the handles in one of their two operating positions while the grinder is being used.
  • a transparent window 110 is provided in a bottom region of handle 47.
  • collar 63 is provided with a protrusion 111 extending upward from an upper region of collar 63.
  • the name 112 of a first condiment is provided on one side of the protrusion
  • the name of a second condiment is provided on the opposite side of the protrusion, such that the two names are circumferentially spaced on the protrusion by 180 degrees.
  • the protrusion 111 is aligned with the window 110 of the handle, such that the name of the condiment is visible through the window 110, and corresponds to the condiment that will be ground given the position of the handle.
  • the window 112 is then aligned with the name of the second condiment, corresponding to the condiment in the second chamber. In this manner, a user may simply look at the window 110 to determine the position of the handle and hence which condiment will be ground when the handle 46 is actuated. It will be understood that the names of any two condiments may be provided on the protrusion 111 of collar 63, although in the grinder, the collar 63 is marked with the words “salt” and "pepper.” If desired, a second window (not shown) may be provided on the handle 47 opposite window 110 to continuously display a desired element, for example, a company logo.
  • Each rasp is guided in the housing by flanges 90 and 91 ( Figure 3 ).
  • the tops of the rasps are guided by a rectangular sleeve 99 ( Figure 6 ), and shown in exploded view in Figures 9A-9C .
  • the sleeve is formed of two parts 102 having guide walls 103 for slidably retaining the rasps when the sleeve is attached within the housing.
  • the sleeve 99 may be formed as an integral piece.
  • Receptacles 105 in the housings for pins 104 position the sleeve in fixed position in the housing 10.
  • a cam 70 is attached to a square pin 72 that rides in a slot 74 of a movable handle 76.
  • An adjustment rod 78 passes into the handle and is attached to the pin 72.
  • the pin 72 is conventional of two pieces with a spring pushing them apart in a conventional manner as a detent.
  • the ends of the pin 72 are rounded to fit into two detents or dimple positions 77 at opposite ends of the slot 74 to selectively provide for positioning the cam over one or the other of the rasps 16 or 18.
  • the rod 78 can be moved in one direction to position the cam 70 over the rasp in one of the chambers.
  • the rod can be moved in the opposite direction to position the cam over the other rasp in the other chamber. In the same manner as described above, when one of the rasps is moved downwardly by the movement of the moveable handle, the other rasp is unaffected.
  • each chamber will be provided with an access door 80 for filling the condiment in that chamber. Also the two halves are aligned by pins on one half with mating holes in the other half and then fused together by sonic welding or any other well known method.
